* ArtisticLicenseLaw: In the real world, the police and fire crews [[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked ignoring Bart's real crisis]] after he actually does become trapped in the well (and Quimby saying on national television "he can ''[[DeathOfAChild rot]]'' down there!', complete with people cheering) would have left them open to huge lawsuits and criminal charges. Nobody seems to suffer any legal consequences here

That and all of Springfield's cops are too fat to be lowered in[[/note]]. ranging from using a fishing line baited with chocolate, to having him carried out by a falcon, to even cryogenically freezing him.
